The Cultural Landscape Foundation June 11-12, 2011 What’s Out There Weekend Chicago, IL J U N E 2 0 1 1 Dear What’s Out There Weekend Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Weekend! The materials in this guide will tell you all you need to know about engaging in this exciting event, the second in a series which we will continue in other cities throughout the United States. On June 11-12 in Chicago, TCLF in partnership with the Chicago Park District will host What’s Out There Weekend, providing residents and visitors an opportunity to discover and explore more than two dozen free, publicly accessible sites in the city. During the two days of What’s Out There Weekend, TCLF will offer free tours by expert guides. Chicago, a city of great architecture, is also home to remarkable and pioneering forms of landscape architecture, from the Prairie style epitomized by Alfred Caldwell’s Lily Pool and Jens Jensen’s Columbus Park to significant 20th century landscapes, including the roof garden at Lake Point Tower and Dan Kiley’s design for the Art Institute of Chicago’s South Garden. The goal of What’s Out There Weekend is to tell the fascinating stories about these valuable places and provide the public with opportunities to learn about the individuals who designed and created them. The What’s Out There Weekend initiative dovetails with the web-based What’s Out There (WOT), the most comprehensive searchable database of the nation’s historic designed landscapes. Spanning more than two centuries of American landscape design, the database is searchable by name, locale, designer, type, and style. The richly-illustrated database includes a glossary of 27 types, 49 sub-types, and 14 styles, hundreds of designer profiles and site entries, descriptions of some of our country’s most important cultural landscapes, and relevant website links. On behalf of The Cultural Landscape Foundation, I thank you for participating in What’s Out There Weekend, and hope you enjoy the tours.
